With them being back at the university, everything evoked different memories for Raeleigh. Xanthus asked, "Are you uncomfortable?" Raeleigh looked up at Xanthus and shook her head. "No, it just feels a little strange. Everything that happened in the past two months makes me feel like several years have passed. I could always remember the fire at the orphanage, and it struck terror in my heart every time I did. But those memories seem distant and forgettable now. On the contrary, what has happened in the past two months has left some indelible memories in me." "I always thought that my world was a grayish color, but after these two months, I realized that it was black instead." He felt sorry for her. He raised his hand to caress her head. "If you don't like this place, shall we leave?" Gazing at him, she nodded. "Let's go. You have to go to class, and I'll be busy with my work too." Xanthus brought Raeleigh into the campus. She then went to report her
As the motorcycle was speeding towards Raeleigh, she didn't move a muscle until it screeched to a halt. She watched as the motorcyclist took off his helmet, and she was not surprised to see that it was Santiago. Emotionless, she sidestepped him and continued walking. Santiago spun the motorcycle around and rode along beside her. Everyone who saw them shot their curious stares at them. The girls were gaping at Santiago with admiration while the boys were catching stealthy glimpses of Raeleigh, who exuded a cold presence. Almost everyone was thinking about how Raeleigh could tempt such a handsome man. It didn't take Raeleigh and Santiago long to arrive at Xanthus's place. Xanthus had just finished examining one of the students. When the student left, Xanthus saw Raeleigh at the door. He came out of his room and asked, "Did you not go to class?" Xanthus was not surprised when Santiago came into sight. After all, Santiago was an unpredictable person who never
At night, Xanthus and Raeleigh did not rest right away. Instead, they went to find a suitable place to rent, which was somewhere near to campus. They hoped to find a place that would not be further than a twenty-minute drive from campus. After all, it wasn't for a man and a woman to be seen living together on school grounds. However, none of the places they visit met their requirements.. Raeleigh was alright with every place they went, but Xanthus was not satisfied with any of them. They only returned home at midnight. Raeleigh said, "I can't believe that there are still people who are willing to show us their houses this late." "We made appointments, so they had to comply." Raeleigh replied, "But we can't enter the campus either this late." "Aren't we going in now?" Xanthus drove his car right through the campus' opened gates. Raeleigh looked around curiously and saw Santiago nearby. He was leaning against the wall with a cigarette in ha
After finishing the work in the office, Jepherson handed the document to Horacio and stood up. Raeleigh looked at the bracelet that had returned to her wrist and followed Jepherson. Leaving the president's office, she stopped him, "Hold up." Jepherson hadn't strode away either; he was waiting for her. "I'm not going anywhere." Raeleigh fell silent for a moment; he made it sound like she was desperate to follow him. "Take this off, so you don't have to take me with you whenever you need it." She stretched out her hand to him, and he took a look at it. "Raeleigh, have you heard of albatross?" Raeleigh frowned. "What does this have to do with albatross?" "Albatross is a monogamous bird. If one dies, the partner will follow; it will stick to its deceased partner and starve itself to death." "I'm like that too. I will only ever love one person in my life; this bracelet is the keepsake of our love. Unless I die, I will never take it off you."
"Hello, Mr. Richards and Miss Raeleigh." Colston came to have lunch when he saw the Richards family's car outside. He paid attention after entering, and sure enough, Raeleigh and Jepherson were inside, so he came over to greet them. Raeleigh had met them before, so she stood up. Louisa cracked a smile. "Long time no see." Raeleigh saw that Jepherson had also stood up. "What a coincidence." "Indeed. But we're bound to meet sooner or later. I've been looking for a chance to talk to you, but who would've thought I'd bump into you here." "I'm not following," Jepherson replied bluntly. Colston didn't intend to beat about the bush either. "I wanted to talk to you about your conflict with Flynt." Recalling he had gone to the countryside to look for Flynt some time ago, Jepherson said indifferently, "If it's about this, you'd better save your breath. No one can touch my woman. He had hired people to harm her so that he could play the damsel in di
Raeleigh only caught a glimpse of Yanora. She dawned a black outfit, walking toward the campus gates while t men pushed Raeleigh to another route. Raeleigh wanted to call out for help, but there was nobody around. Raeleigh and Rossie had purposely chosen this time to avoid being seen by the other students and becoming the subject of gossip, but who would've thought Yanora would use it to abduct her. Raeleigh kept looking back as the men pushed her out of campus. As they were nimble, she was in a car in two shakes. Yanora cast a glance at her as Raeleigh sat, casting a sinister smile. She faced away to remove the black veil from her face, then looked back at Raeleigh, rendering her astounded. There was a deep gash on half of Yanora's face as if someone had lacerated it with a sharp knife. It was not a sight to behold. It was the first time Raeleigh had seen such a disfigured face that she stared at it blankly. Subsequently, she lowered her eyes, belie
Santiago came out of campus to look for Raeleigh immediately. Zorion called home for help; Rayan had wanted to stay out of this matter, but when he heard Raeleigh had been kidnapped, he lent his men to Zorion. When Jepherson heard the news, he shot out of bed and headed out while putting on his coat. Xanthus searched high and low for his sister but to no avail. However, he found Raeleigh's guards, who had been covertly protecting her, passed out nearby campus. "What should we do?" Rossie held Zorion's hand tightly, and Zorion shook his head. "I don't know, but we need to find the kidnapper. Otherwise, things can turn bad very quickly." Rossie fell silent, and she didn't look too good either. This wouldn't have happened if she didn't run away. "It's not your fault; this is obviously long premeditated. It's our fault that we didn't protect you two." Zorion held Rossie in his arms. "How am I to live if something does happen to her?" Rossie bit her lip.
"Old Master Johan." After Colston left, Elina called out to Johan, leading him to glance at her and wave his hand. Elina had no choice but to leave. When Elina left, Johan laid down and said with great effort, "I don't know why but I've been feeling groggy, and I can't breathe properly." "Please don't say that, Old Master Johan. Your health has always been in the pink," Ronard said, but Johan shook his head. "I know my body well." Ronard wiped his tears. He also felt that Johan's health was worsening by the day, but he couldn't put his finger on it. The outsiders thought Johan's health was poor, but he knew the old master had been fine. However, in the past month, his condition was getting worse by the day. "Ronard, after I die, you'll have to assist Thorin. This family cannot be left to Colston. He wants to be on good terms with the Richards family wholeheartedly, but this is not what I want. Flynt can't be the head of the Moore family anymore
